The Knights of Columbus Springfield Council #5560 offers graduating 8th graders an opportunity to apply for a scholarship to attend a Catholic high school. Students must provide a copy of their acceptance letter, report card, letter of recommendation from a faculty member and a typed one-page essay about why the student wishes to attend a Catholic high school. One of recipients of the 2019 Springfield Knights of Columbus Scholarship, Jack Chacon, a graduate of Saint James the Apostle School, was presented with a check for $750 on August 7 at the Springfield Columbian Club. Jack will be attending Oratory Prep in the 2019-2020 school year.
